حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ قَزَعَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ بَيِّنْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ

كَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الظُّهْرَ فَيَخْرُجُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ وَيَجِيءُ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَيَجِدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ ‏.‏

It was narrated that Qaza’ah said:

“I asked Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: ‘There is nothing good in that for you.’* I said: ‘Explain it, may Allah have mercy on you.’ He said: ‘The Iqamah would be given for the Zuhr prayer for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then one of us would go out to Al- Baqi’, relieve himself, then come back and perform ablution, and he would find the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) still in the first Rak’ah of Zuhr.’”

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 825).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan Ibn Majah

قَوْله ( لَيْسَ لَك فِي ذَلِكَ خَيْر ) يُرِيد أَنَّ الْعِلْم لِلْعَمَلِ وَإِلَّا يَصِير حُجَّة عَلَى الْإِنْسَان فَالْعِلْم بِصَلَاتِهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ أَنَّك مَا تَقْدِر عَلَيْهِ يَكُون حُجَّة عَلَيْك قَوْله ( فِي الرَّكْعَة الْأُولَى مِنْ الظُّهْر ) أَيْ لِلتَّطْوِيلِ وَلَعَلَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْيَانًا يُطَوِّل مِثْل هَذَا التَّطْوِيل لِعِلْمِهِ بِرَغْبَةِ مَنْ خَلْفه فِي التَّطْوِيل وَعِنْد ذَلِكَ يَجُوز التَّطْوِيل وَإِلَّا فَالتَّخْفِيف هُوَ الْمَطْلُوب لِلْإِمَامِ.…

Authentic Sahih Muslim 454a

The noon prayer would start and one would go to al-Baqi' and after having relieved himself he would perform ablution and then come, while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would be in the first rak'ah, because he would prolong it so much.

صَلاَةُ الظُّهْرِ تُقَامُ فَيَذْهَبُ الذَّاهِبُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِمَّا يُطَوِّلُهَا ‏.‏
